What the government should do is to give everyone in the floodhit areas a free ticket with bus to relatives in areas with no flooding, up to the North or Esaan.


Are there enough buses and open roads to do that?

I have been involved with alcoholism treatment for over 20 years.  It is very rare to talk someone into quitting or going into treatment.  The alcoholic/addict has to hit bottom and decide to seek help on their own.   More often they die before this happens.

Intervention sometimes works.  Read this

Then do a google on: intervention alcoholism

Good luck.

I don't know that they can hit rock bottom as their families always enable their addiction. Be it gambling (my bro-in-law) or drugs or alcoholism.

I had a cousin-in-law who drank himself to death, ended up bloating up (kidney failure maybe, cirrhosis of the liver? no idea) and dying shortly after that. He couldn't have been more than 50. But then I also had a cousin in law who was on the same sad slippery slope and managed to get himself off of it. Sadly, he died in a motorbike accident a couple of years later.

I am sorry I don't know that you can help, given Thai attitudes towards addiction, best you can do is try, really.

Last night I went to Laughter Yoga.  I had read about this but never done it.  It was very silly and very fun.  We laughed together for an hour.  At the end I was exhausted, but also strangely energized.  I slept great and woke up feeling great.  Do a google on laughter yoga to learn more.

Until I found the radical self-inquiry from Non-duality, but that's my thing.

What is that?  How does it work?
